[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4310496, member: 73489"]You think it's only overgraded by 1/2 number ? 66+ ? It could look better in hand, but alot of good graders here took a look and I think the highest was MS65+. [B][COLOR=#0000ff]A 67 should look pretty pristine. [/COLOR][/B] We can't ascertain if the 2 obverse fields are "dirty" or if it's bad photography, but you do have 2 noticeable gashes on that side and then lots of dings on the reverese. So you can't even say it's a 67 based on a 65 or 66 obverse and a strong 67 or more on the reverse. Neither side looks 67. JMHO. [B][COLOR=#0000ff]I'm really waiting to see what the auction brings for this coin. [/COLOR][/B] It's one thing to pay MS65 money for an MS63 coin, it's a few hundred bucks more. But anybody buying this is going to be paying 5-figures so it's serious $$$...and presumably they know how to grade Saints. So if they are buying the coin and not the slab....... Again, even if the 2 obverse fields are clear (unlike in the photo), the 2 obverse gashes and all the little dings on the reverse to me make this no way an MS67. Again, JMHO. :D[/QUOTE]
